"An Unimaginable Breakthrough": Loudest-Ever Gravitational Wave Collision Proves Stephen Hawking Correct. It depicts the view from one of the black holes as it spirals toward its cosmic partner. waves are made visible by twisting the spacey background behind and creating ribbons that spiral towards the black hole at the cener.

The Bizarre Behind-The-Scenes Story Of The First-Ever Detection Of Gravitational Waves still from a computer simulation. This simulation shows how the merger would appear to our eyes if we could somehow travel in a spaceship for a closer look. Distant stars appear warped due to the incredibly strong gravity of the black holes. The black holes warp space and time, and this causes light from the stars to curve around the black holes in a process called gravitational lensing. The ring around the black holes, known as an Einstein ring, arises from the light of all the stars in a small region behind the holes, where gravitational lensing has smeared their images into a ring.
